8.3.3 Installing ConsoleOne for Advanced Administrative Tasks

GroupWise is administered by using ConsoleOne®, a Java*-based tool for managing your network and its resources. When you create your GroupWise system, GroupWise snap-ins are added to your ConsoleOne installation and GroupWise objects are created in Novell® eDirectory. As you manage your GroupWise system, you use ConsoleOne to create additional GroupWise objects, modify GroupWise object properties, and so on.

NOTE:Because the GroupWise snap-ins to ConsoleOne are required in order to work with GroupWise objects, you cannot use other network management tools, such as Novell iManager, to administer your GroupWise system. Also, you should not use older network management tools, such as NetWare® Administrator, to administer your GroupWise system, unless your GroupWise system includes legacy gateways that require such tools to administer the corresponding Gateway objects and their properties.

Because GroupWise is a cross-platform product, you might have components of your GroupWise system located on NetWare servers, Linux servers, and Windows servers. You can run ConsoleOne on Windows or Linux to manage GroupWise domains and post offices located on any of these platforms.

8.3.4 Configuring WebAccess

During setup you are given the opportunity to assign GWIA a different port, 26, so that the two programs do not conflict. Incoming mail from the Internet to the GroupWise system is then accepted by MailScanner on port 25 (SMRP’s default), scanned, then delivered to GWIA, which accepts non-standard mail on port 26.

For directions on component configuration, see the GroupWise Administration Guide Web site.
